<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>This page describes the process of configuring and building <a href="windows-support.html">Qt for Windows</a>. Before building, there are some requirements that are given in more detail in the <a href="windows-requirements.html">Qt for Windows - Requirements</a> document.</p>
<p>You can download the Qt 5 sources from the <a href="http://qt-project.org/downloads">Downloads</a> page. For more information, visit the <a href="gettingstarted.html">Getting Started with Qt</a> page.</p>
<a name="step-1-install-the-license-file-commercial-editions-only"></a>
<h2>Step 1: Install the License File (commercial editions only)</h2>
<p>If you have the commercial edition of Qt, copy the license file from your account on the distribution server into your home directory (this may be known as the <tt>userprofile</tt> environment variable) and rename it to <tt>.qt-license</tt>. This renaming process must be done using a <i>command prompt</i> on Windows, <b>not</b> with Windows Explorer. For example on Windows 2000, <tt>%USERPROFILE%</tt> should be something like <tt>C:\Documents and Settings\username</tt></p>
<p>For the open source version you do not need a license file.</p>
<a name="step-2-unpack-the-archive"></a>
<h2>Step 2: Unpack the Archive</h2>
<p>Uncompress the files into the directory you want Qt installed; e.g. <tt>C:\Qt\5.3.2</tt>.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>The install path must not contain any spaces or Windows specific file system characters.</p><a name="step-3-set-the-environment-variables"></a>
<h2>Step 3: Set the Environment variables</h2>
<p>We recommend creating a desktop link that opens a command prompt with the environment set up similar to the <b>Command Prompt</b> menu entries provided by the Windows SDKs. This is done by creating an application link passing a <tt>.cmd</tt> file setting up the environment and the command line option <tt>/k</tt> (remain open) to <tt>cmd.exe</tt>.</p>
<p>Assuming the file is called <tt>qt5vars.cmd</tt> and the Qt folder is called <tt>qt-5</tt> and located under <tt>C:\qt</tt>:</p>
<pre class="cpp">REM Set up \Microsoft Visual Studio <span class="number">2013</span><span class="operator">,</span> where <span class="operator"><</span>arch<span class="operator">></span> is \c amd64<span class="operator">,</span> \c x86<span class="operator">,</span> etc<span class="operator">.</span>
CALL <span class="string">"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"</span> <span class="operator"><</span>arch<span class="operator">></span>
SET _ROOT<span class="operator">=</span>C:\qt\qt<span class="operator">-</span><span class="number">5</span>
SET PATH<span class="operator">=</span><span class="operator">%</span>_ROOT<span class="operator">%</span>\qtbase\bin;<span class="operator">%</span>_ROOT<span class="operator">%</span>\gnuwin32\bin;<span class="operator">%</span>PATH<span class="operator">%</span>
REM Uncomment the below line when <span class="keyword">using</span> a git checkout of the source repository
REM SET PATH<span class="operator">=</span><span class="operator">%</span>_ROOT<span class="operator">%</span>\qtrepotools\bin;<span class="operator">%</span>PATH<span class="operator">%</span>
SET QMAKESPEC<span class="operator">=</span>win32<span class="operator">-</span>msvc2013
SET _ROOT<span class="operator">=</span></pre>
<p>A desktop link can then be created by specifying the command <tt>%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /E:ON /V:ON /k c:\qt\qt5vars.cmd</tt> as application and <tt>c:\qt\qt-5</tt> as working directory.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>Setups for <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> are similar; they differ only in that the <tt>bin</tt> folder of the installation should be added to the path instead of calling the Windows SDK setup script. For <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a>, please make sure that no <tt>sh.exe</tt> can be found in the path, as it affects <tt>mingw32-make</tt>.</p><p>Settings required by the additional libraries (see <a href="windows-requirements.html">Qt for Windows Requirements</a>) should also go this file below the call to the Windows SDK setup script.</p>
<a name="step-4-build-the-qt-library"></a>
<h2>Step 4: Build the Qt Library</h2>
<p>The default behavior of configure is to create an in-source build of Qt 5. If you want to install Qt 5 to a separate location, you need to specify the command line option <tt>-prefix <location></tt>. Alternatively, the command line option <tt>-developer-build</tt> creates an in-source build for developer usage.</p>
<p>To configure the Qt library for a debug build for your machine, type the following command in the command prompt:</p>
<pre class="cpp">configure <span class="operator">-</span>debug <span class="operator">-</span>nomake examples <span class="operator">-</span>opensource</pre>
<p>The <a href="configure-options.html">Configure Options</a> page contains more information about the configure options.</p>
<p>To build Qt using <a href="http://qt-project.org/wiki/jom">jom</a>, type:</p>
<pre class="cpp">jom</pre>
<p>If you do not have <a href="http://qt-project.org/wiki/jom">jom</a> installed, type:</p>
<pre class="cpp">nmake</pre>
<p>For <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a>, type:</p>
<pre class="cpp">mingw32<span class="operator">-</span>make</pre>
<p>If an installation prefix was given, type <tt>jom install</tt>, <tt>nmake install</tt> or <tt>mingw32-make install</tt>.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>If you later need to reconfigure and rebuild Qt from the same location, ensure that all traces of the previous configuration are removed by entering the build directory and typing <tt>nmake distclean</tt> before running <tt>configure</tt> again.</p><a name="parallel-builds"></a>
<h2>Parallel Builds</h2>
<p><a href="http://qt-project.org/wiki/jom">jom</a> is a replacement for <tt>nmake</tt> which makes use of all CPU cores and thus speeds up building.</p>
